If you are seriously worried about PFAS in your beer, go to the ACS Journal article - https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.4c11265 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.4c11265 - which is pretty readable. That will give you some good ideas of which breweries might best be avoided for now.
> The researchers found a strong correlation between PFAS concentrations in municipal drinking water and levels in locally brewed beer -- a phenomenon that Hoponick Redmon and colleagues say has not yet been studied in U.S. retail beer. They found PFAS in 95% of the beers they tested.
(Being in the tap water, I'd figure it's also in locally-bottled water and soft drinks and such.)
FWIW - all the study's authors are with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTI_International https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTI_International They officially claimed no conflicts of interest. But if they're drinking local beers anywhere near RTI's HQ - yeah, ample reason to want things fixed.
